    OBJECTIVES OF THE ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

    The objective of the ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN is to prepare well in advance

    to contain effectively any emergency in the shortest time possible with minimum

    loss. The plan aims to make the maximum use of the combined resources of the

    plant and the outside services to take fast and effective actions in an emergency in

    order to:

    Protect the personnel, plant and the environment;

    Effect the rescue and treatment of casualties, if any;

    Safe-guard other personnel and sections in the premises;

    Minimize damage to property and environment;

    Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

    Provide authoritative information to the media; and

    Preserve the relevant records and equipment for subsequent enquiry.

    DEFINITION OF TERMS

    Hazard The size and nature of the event foreseen

    Risk The probability that the event could occur

    Major Emergency An industrial emergency could be defined as an occurrence of

    such magnitude so as to create a situation in which normal

    pattern of life within an industrial plant is suddenly disrupted,

    adversely affecting not only the personnel and property within

    such an industrial area, but also in the vicinity. It will require

    the assistance from the outside agencies and use of outside

    resources to handle it effectively.

    Key Personnel The essential actions during an emergency depending upon

    the circumstances. Nevertheless, it is imperative that the

    required actions are promptly and effectively organized by the

    nominated people, each taking specified responsibilities as

    part of coordinated plan. Such nominated personnel are known

    as KEY PERSONNEL.

    Main Controller The Chief Emergency Controller who assumes absolute

    control of the industrial premises and determines the actions

    necessary to control the emergency.

    Incident Controller Site Incident Controller is the person who goes to the scene of

    emergency and directs the actions at the main location of the

    incident to overcome the emergency situation.

    Emergency The Emergency Control Room is the place from where

    Control room the necessary

    Control Room actions to handle emergency are directed

    and coordinated.

    Assembly Point In an Emergency, it will almost certainly be necessary to

    evacuate the personnel from the affected areas and as a

    precautionary measure, to further evacuate the non-essential

    workers from the areas likely to be affected, should the

    emergency escalate. The evacuation will be effected on

    getting the appropriate message from the Main Controller. On

    evacuation, the employees will be directed to pre-determined

    safe place called ASSEMBLY POINTS and the Assembly

    Points are to be located well away from the plant and

    equipment and near the exit from the factory premises. Such

    Assembly Points shall be conspicuously displayed.

    Escape Route Roads leading to the Assembly Points are termed as the

    Escape Routes.

    Essential Essential Personnel are those to whom the specific

    Personnel responsibilities are assigned in the management of the On-

    Site Emergency .

    Non-Essential Non-Essential Personnel are those to whom specific

    Personnel responsibility is not assigned in the management of On-Site

    Emergency.

    Coal Rank The agglomerating value is used to differentiate between Coal

    Ranks and also is a guide to determine how a particular Coal

    reacts in a furnace; this classification is based of the fixed

    carbon, volatile matter and the heating value.

    PROCESS AND ACTIVITIES

    SUGARCANE PROCESSING

    Growing and Handling

    Sugarcane, the raw material for the process, is cultivated and grown in extensive

    cane fields on the assigned periphery. The cane from the fields is transported by

    trucks or tractors and trailers to the cane yard adjacent to the Sugar Processing

    Factory. The cane is weighed and unloaded from the vehicles by c anerab

    unloaders. The cane is transferred to the main cane carrier for processing as

    required. The raw sugarcane from the cane carrier is first cut down to small pieces

    by a series of cutting knives, and then chopped further in the fibrizer, which shreds

    the cane and exposes the sugar containing cells.

    Milling

    At the Milling Section, the cane passes through a series of rollers that crush the

    cane extract the juice. The juice flows through the machinery to a metal trough

    below the floor and is then pumped to a receiving tank. The Bagasse (waste

    sugarcane material) is conveyed to the Boiler Furnaces for burning as fuel. The

    objective is to optimize the milling operation, juice drainage, good mill setting and

    continuous even grinding rate.

    Clarifying

    From the receiving tank, batches of cane juices are pumped to the primary juice

    heaters, where it is heated to about 65 to 70 Degree Centigrade. The heated cane

    juice is then pumped to a reaction tank, where Lime solution is added to prevent

    Sucrose inversion by increasing the Ph from 5.2 to 7.8. The Lime solution is

    formed by adding powdered Lime (calcium oxide) and water in the slaker.

    From the reaction tank, the cane juices are heated in the secondary heaters from

    100 to 102 Degree Centigrade and are then pumped to a clarifier, where the solids

    are allowed to settle out. The clarifier mud is collected and transported to the

    filters, where Bagacillo ( fine bagasse particles) are used as a filter medium to

    extract the remaining filtrate from the clarifier mud. The clarifier is cleaned every

  • 7/29/2019 Bannariamman Onsite

    5/50

    two weeks. The filter cake (dried clarifier mud) from the filters is transported to the

    sugarcane fields for use as soil amendment and the filtrate is recycled back into

    the cane juice process.

    Evaporating

    The clear juice from the clarifier is pumped to the multiple effect evaporators,

    where it is concentrated from about 85 % water to 40 % water. The concentrated

    juice is now called syrup and the syrup is pumped to the Sulphitor, where Sulphur-

    Di-Oxide Gas is bubbled through the syrup. The Sulphur-Di-Oxide Gas is created

    in the Sulphur burner by igniting powdered sulphur, which serves three purposes:

    It acts as a disinfectant;

    Reduces the viscosity of the slurry; and

    Bleaches the syrup.

    Crystallizi ngAfter bleaching, the syrup is taken to the vacuum pans for the purpose of

    crystallization. Molasses is then separated from the sugar in the centrifuge, and

    the sugar is discharged to a conveyor that is taken for weighing in

    50 /100Kgs. Bags for shipment out for sale or staked.

    The molasses is then piped to the above-ground storage tanks, from where it is

    transported to the Distillery Division for Alcohol Manufacture. Molasses is having a

    flammability rating of 1 and will burn only under conditions of extreme heat. The

    auto-ignition temperature of molasses is 60 Degree Centigrade and its boiling

    point is 107 Degree Centigrade.

    CO-GENERATION PLANT

    M/S Sakthi Sugars Limited, Sakthinagar plant burns Coal/Bagasse to drive the

    turbo-generators, and for sugar processing in the boiling house. Bagasse quality

    (moisture and ash content) is important for boiler efficiency. Bagasse moisture in

    the range of 45-48 % is desirable for efficient burning. The Bagasse production is

    estimated to about 2100 MT/Day.

    DISTILLERY - ALCOHOL MANUFACTURING PROCESS

    Sakthi Sugars Ltd M/s. Bannari Amman Sugars Limited, Distillery Division is adoptingcontinuous fermentation system which comprises 5 fermentors. Molasses and

  • 7/29/2019 Bannariamman Onsite

    7/50

    water are added separately to the first 3 - 4 fermenters in suitable proportion. Yeast

    is cultured and added only during initial start up of the fermentation process. Air

    is passed into the first two fermentors and carbon-di-oxide in the remaining 3

    fermenters. The retention time of fermentation is 22 - 24 hours. The temperature of

    the fermentors is maintained at 32 - 34 Deg.C. by means of heat exchanger. During

    this fermentation period the sugar which is available in the molasses is converted into

    alcohol and carbon-di-oxide. Throughout the process, the pH is maintained in the

    range of 4 to 5 to control the bacterial contamination. After the fermentation is

    completed, the fermented liquid is boiled in the boiling column and alcohol is

    concentrated in the rectification column and the finished product namely rectified

    spirit is produced and stored in storage tanks.

    MANAGING HEALTH AND SAFETY

    A number of emergency situations might arise within sugar milling as well as co-

    generation and distillery operations including, but not limited to:

    (a) Fire and explosion;

    (b) Chemical spills;

    (c) Rescue from Heights and

    (d) Rescue from confined spaces.

    Hydrochloric Acid, Caustic Lye and intermediate product s likebagasse and molasses and Bio-gas .Explosion due to Hydrochloric Acid coming in contact with metallicparts on spillage.Explosion due to Boiler operation

    ii. Responsibility Assigned:Tamilnadu Fire and Rescue Service is assigned with theresponsibility of fire fighting and rescue operations in case ofemergency.

    4. Details of liaison arrangement between organizations:

    Effective coordination and mutual participation in a factory-wide annualtraining has to be established so as to review the On-Site Emergency Planregardless of revisions.

    5. Information on the preliminary hazard analysis:

    a. Type of accidents :

    Fire due to the raw materials such as furnace oil, molasses andBio-gas

    Explosion due to Hydrochloric Acid coming in contact with metallicparts on spillage Fire and explosions (coal yard, bagasse yard andturbine areas);

    Explosion due to Boiler operation

    Toxic and corrosive chemicals (due to D.M. Water TreatmentChemicals such as Hydrochloric Acid and Caustic Lye);

    Specific jobs carried under highly hazardous atmosphere (explosiveatmosphere due to Hydrogen evolving from Hydrochloric Acidreacting with metals);

    Non-working of safety devices, inter-locks, failure of highly revolvingmachinery . such as steam turbine and centrifugal machines;

    Hazards due to handling of heavy equipments ( cranes, trucks,tractors , etc),; and

    Traffic hazards.

    b. System elements or events that can lead to a majoraccident:

    The likely hazards to the factory premises are fire and explosion.

    Bagasse, a bye-product of milling process, is normally used as a fuelin Boilers in the Co-Generation Plant in the Sugar Factory which in

  • 7/29/2019 Bannariamman Onsite

    16/50

    turn produces steam necessary for the factory processes. Bagasse isa natural, fibrous material, which is taken into the atmospheres bywind in respirable sizes. Bagasse is a nuisance dust which is difficultto control, particularly in the form of bagassilo, a dry dust separatedfrom the largest fibers by cyclones and screens, used to mix with

    material subsided from juice to create a mill mud. Apart from thehealth risks associated with bagasse fibers, sugar dust and dirt,thermal radiation in case of fire, would be the highest at the center offire and starts falling down as one move away from the seat of fire.

    Coal is used as the supplemental fuel in the Boilers of the Co-Generation Plant in the factory. Bituminous Coal is moderatelysubjected to spontaneous heating under the bulk storage conditionsand hence it has to be stored in small piles so as to avoid hightemperatures. High volatile coals are particularly liable to heat asindicated in the National Fire Prevention Association Hand-Book. The

    process of slow oxidation of an element/compound, which causes thebulk temperature of the element/compound to rise, without theaddition of an external heat source, is termed as SPONTANEOUSHEATING; it is the result of direct oxidation of hydrocarbons (forexample, oils, coals and solvents) or it may occur because of micro-organisms or organic materials.

    Coal presents the hazard between the times it is mined and itseventual use as fuel in Boilers. The oxidation of coal is solid/gasreaction. This happens when the air (a gas) passes over a coalsurface (a solid). Oxygen from the air combines with the coal, raisingthe temperature of the coal. As the reaction proceeds, the moisture inthe coal is liberated as vapor and then some of the volatile matterthat normally has a distinct odor is released. The amount of surfacearea of coal that is exposed is a factor in its heating tendency. Thefiner the size of the coal, the more surface area per unit weight(specific area) and greater the oxidizing potential, all other factorsbeing equal.

    c. Hazards:

    i. Spontaneous heating:

    Coal is stored in the coal storage yard near the Effluent TreatmentArea of the factory premises for use as fuel in the Boilers at therate of 250500 Tons per Day. There is a critical amount of air flowthrough a portion of coal pile that maximizes the oxidation orspontaneous heating tendencies of coal. If there is no air flowthrough a pile, there is no oxygen from the air to stimulateoxidization. If there is potential supply of air, any heat generatedfrom oxidization will be carried off and the pile temperatures reachequilibrium with the air temperature that is considered a ventilated

    pile. When there is sufficient air flow for the coal to absorb most ofthe oxygen from the air and an insufficient air flow to dissipate the

  • 7/29/2019 Bannariamman Onsite

    17/50

    heat generated, the rate of the reaction increases and thetemperature may exceed desirable limits trigger adverse events.

    ii. Hydrochloric acid spill:

    Apart from the corrosive effects of Hydrochloric Acid, the vaporsfrom the leaky joints, in the course of water treatment activities inthe Co-Generation Plant leads to intense shop-floor corrosion.Hydrochloric Acid on contact with most metals may liberateexplosive and most flammable Hydrogen Gas. During this processof Hydrogen evolution, heat is produced, which, in turn increasesthe generation of vapors of Hydrogen Chloride.

    iii. Physical hazards:

    The physical hazards include:

    Same level fall hazards due to the slippery conditions;

    Use of machines and tools;

    Collision with internal transport such as trucks and tractorscranes, fork-lifts, conveyors, etc. and

    High temperatures and pressures.

  • 7/29/2019 Bannariamman Onsite

    18/50

    d. d. Safety relevant components:

    Attention has to be paid to the correct selection and installation ofgaskets as well as pipe material of construction selected judiciouslyso as to avert any possible flammable and toxic chemical release into

    the atmosphere. Necessary procedures have been formulated foravoiding over-pressurization of pipe-lines. Reliability of protectivesystems has been ensured through proper selection, inspection andmaintenance.

    The closed coal storage yards (50m x 30m) has been protected with4 Nos. of Hydrants on all the directions. Hence the Hot Spots in thecoal yard could be cooled then and there with constant surveillanceby the security personnel. For the spontaneous ignition to occur, therate of heat being generated through oxidization must exceed therate heat of removal by conduction, convection and radiation

    (thermal). As the temperature of the material begins to rise, the rateof heat generation would often increase. The result is a Run-Awayreaction which ultimately causes the ignition. This process ofspontaneous ignition is dependent on the Rank of coals; if the heatremoval exceeds the heat of generation, the coal will cool and will notignite. The rate of heat removal is accomplished through the rotatingof coal piles to cool Hot Spots.

    b. Transformation, if any, that could occur:

    Below are listed some of the specific characteristics of spontaneousfires in Coalmolasses . These characteristics can be used for the

    evaluation of the potential for liquidCoal fire and as guide-lines forminimizing the probability of fires:

    a) The higher the inherent (equilibrium moisture), higher theheating tendency;

    b) The lower the ash free BTU, the higher the heating tendency,the higher oxygen in the coal, the higher the heatingtendency;

    c) Sulphur, once considered as a major factor, is now thought tobe a minor factor, in the spontaneous heating of Coal;

    d) The finer the size of the Coal, the more surface area is

    exposed per unit weight (specific area) and the greater theoxidizing potential, all other factors being equal;

    e) Many times, the segregation of Coal particle sizes are themajor cause of heating. The coarse sizes allow the air toenter into the Coal at one location and react with the highsurface fines at another location;

    f) It is generally believed that the rate of reaction is double forevery 8 to 11 Degree Centigrade increase in temperatures;

    g) Freshly mined Coal has the greatest oxidizing characteristics,but the Hot Spots in the pile may not appear before one ortwo months; as the initial oxidization takes place, thetemperature gradually increases and the rate of oxidizationaccelerates. There is a critical amount of air flow through aportion of Coal pile, which maximizes oxidization or heatingtendencies of Coal. If there is no air flow through the Coalpile, there is no oxygen from the air to stimulate oxidization. Ifthere is plentiful supply of air, any heat generated throughoxidization will be carried off and the pile temperatures willreach equilibrium with air temperatures, which is consideredas a ventilated pile; and

    h) When there is just sufficient air flow for the Coal to absorb

    most of the oxygen from the air and an insufficient air flow todissipate the heat generated, the reaction rate increases andthe temperatures may exceed desirable limits.

    c. Purity of Hazardous Substances:

    Low ash coal contains less than 8 % ash by weight; Low Sulphur coalcontains less than 1 % Sulphur by weight.

    8. Likely dangers to the Plant:

    The thermal radiation, in case of fire, would be the highest at the center ofthe fire and starts falling down as one move away from the seat of fire.

    9. Enumerate effects of:

    (i) Stress and strain caused during normal operation:

    Effects of thermal strain have been taken care of by the adequate supply ofgood quality drinking water as well as milk twice a day. Monitoring systemsare in place to ensure that the status of operation is shown clearly at alltimes. These systems include the procedures for a documented hand-overbetween shifts that records any relevant and specific information/changes inthe operating status. Behavior-based observations are duly included in theoperation of equipments and systems handling the hazardous substances.

    Any need for additional training is scheduled with these behavior-basedobservations. Strong emphasis has been placed on the training andupgrading of the medical skill of the emergency personnel with the

    involvement of Full-Time Medical Officer in the factory, Dr. R.MUTHUSAMY, particularly in their roles as the stress healers for monitoringand management of incident critical stress syndrome, recommending rest,de-briefing or demobilization as required. .

    (ii) Fire and explosion inside the plant and effect, if any, of fire andexplosion outside:The inventory of Hazardous Chemicals suggests that the effects of fire andexplosions could be contained within the factory premises and the possibleescalating effects outside the factory premises are remote.

    10.DETAILS REGARDING:

    i. Warning, alarm, safety and security systems:

    Factors that contributed to the significance of emergency includedSystems. A Siren has been provided for in the Sugar factory and the Siren

    would be sounded as and when any fire is detected manually by securitypeople during their constant surveillance of the factory premises.

    The primary responsibility of informing any emergency situation to theIncident Controller would be religiously followed by the person, who noticesthe fire or Hot Spot in the coal storage yard of in the factory premises. Thefirst responder would be the vocal alerting system through voice audibility,pitch, volume and contents of the message.

    In the event of a AlcoholEthanol fire, the flame is less bright than a Gasolineflame and is very faint in bright day-light conditions. Hence the message

    that the Ethanol Alcohol Flames what is seen physically are only 5 % ofthe total Fire is conspicuously displayed in the Ethanol Storage Area.

    38/50

    v) The congestion or obstacle within the cloud (size,

    shape, number, location); and

    vi) Ignition timing.

    Gas explosions in more open environments can also lead to significant over-

    pressures depending on the rate of combustion and the mode of flame

    propagation in the cloud. All of the above points from (i) to (vi) can affect the

    explosion.

    Duties of technical officer

    There shall be adequate and proper communication from each stage of a

    plan to the next, so that the Hazard Management Decisions could be

    understood, recorded and audible. One way of achieving this is by

    summarizing the key information of fire and explosion events in the factorypremises; and

    The summary of the key information shall be a living document which in its

    simplest form may be a compilation of entire details. It should convey

    information to all those who are responsible for operations in full, which is in

    concise and easily read.

    Duties of the rescue officer

    Because air-way maintenance is one of the very important skills that has to

    be learn by the Rescue Team Members and also the respiratory system

    shall be the first of the body systems to be reviewed in the course of an

    emergency;

    Unconscious persons who have not suffered trauma shall be placed in a

    side-laying or RECOVERY POSITION to help keep air-way open;

    Improperly lifting or moving a person can result in injury to either the

    responder or to the injured person. By exercising Good Body Mechanics,

    the possibility of injuring self as well as the injured would be reduced. Good

    Body Mechanics means using the strength in the large muscles from the

    legs to lift a person instead of applying back muscles;

    To lift safely, the Rescue Crew shall keep certain guide-lines in mind.

    Before attempting to move a person, check the weight of the patient; if

    required another person may be called for the help. The rescue work shall

    be carried out in an efficient and helpful; manner;

    If the patient is on the floor or on the ground during an emergency situation,

    the Rescue Team Members may have to drag the person away from the

    site instead of trying to lift them and carry. Every effort shall be made to pull

    the person in the direction of long axis of the body in order to provide as

    much spinal protection for the person as possible. This sort of CLOTHES

    DRAGGING is the simplest way to move a person in an emergency;

    If the person is clothed in dress that could tear away easily during clothes

    drag (foe example, burnt partially) the person injured shall be moved byusing a blanket or large bed-sheet, which is termed as BLANKET DRAG;

    If any large sheet is not readily available, the injured person shall be carried

    by ARMS TO ARMS DRAG by placing the hands under the lying person

    s arm-pits from the back of the person and grasping the persons

    fore-arm;

    There shall be close coordination and effective communication between the

    Rescue Team and the Rehabilitation Team; and

    The Rescue Officer shall also hold responsibility for the shutting down the

    critical plants in the course of their emergency rescue operations in the

    factory premises.

    Duties of the rehabilitation officer

    procedures to locate, store, distribute, maintain, test and account for

    services, personnel , resource materials and facilities procured for the
